Backdating this entry, because I can't believe I haven't posted about this yet!
I have two new kittens! I got them on Aug. 28 -- at which point I was told they were 7.5 weeks old. The people I got them from didn't know if they were male or female, because they weren't professional breeders (so in fact, I don't know that they are actually purebred, which is sort of fine because maybe this means they will be more hearty in their constitution). This was a little annoying, because I really wanted males -- I've read that male cats are just sweeter in disposition and more into people, and since Jaime is exactly that, I tended to believe it -- but I also had heard that as long as you have them spayed, females can be just as nice. So it didn't really matter, except I still leaned toward males. We all did a bunch of Googling and peering at kitty private parts, but it was just super hard to tell. >< I prepared two girls' names and two boys' names, just in case.
I found out a couple of days later, at their first vet visit, that they are indeed brothers! (Yes they're from the same litter.)
Meet Micah and Henry (aka Hyunsoo)!

( More details! )
